| reserved the risht TO refer the whole matter &c
the board 10 reject any aud all bids or to let the
contract on one hiark cor piece OF printing TO ONE
| man and reject his bids ON all others, This last
was perhaps beyond the scope Of, aud contrary tC
the Intention of your SAT- resolution, aud IL one
of the why the matter is again referred u
you, A.,
i, Arthur and A. s. Hearn, which bids are hereto
attached On the day mentioned in said notice
/, ". met aud opeued said bids. The bid OF Crsw
ford Bros. was so indefinite, referring as 1t doe
| to book on printing to which the committe'
have not had access, that we are unable 10 say
whether IL was lower than the Others or not.
We made careful estimate OF the number @
each blank that would under any circumst anee
be required by the county officers for the ensuin
year, and ind thai 100 OF each kind would be NOR
: than ,uffcIent, except the following; No 4, ~
q would be sufficient Nos 8, rs, 10, 40 n. u, Y
"A, Is, ~ 50, 81, two hundred each. Nos. 81, 3.
three hu ldred eueh. Nos. 3, 8, four hundred eacl
No 2s, SIX Thousand FIVE hundred. We Seliey
that Mr.. A. s. H,Ern IL the lowest on all blank
except No. Is, assessment blanks, OF which Ia
county win need about 800. On this numb'
= McArthur's bid is about s. 70 lower han that
Nj Hearn On all the blanks together, NJ
If Hearn's bid appears 10 be about "a lower tina
!. that Of Mr.. McArthur On the tax receipts I,

thHu that Of Mr.. Hearn anu on court calends
